The Immortal Alliance Conference is getting closer and closer. After receiving Yu Tianji's letter, all the major immortal sects set out one after another. They should be able to arrive before the agreed date.
Li Yuebai wrote and drew on the desk in the Auspicious Hall every day, planning the reception arrangements.
This task is much easier than fighting against the evil cult, and can almost be called leisurely.
Just as he finished writing a page, a monk in charge of guarding the door came in and reported: "Master Jiji, outside... Miss Ji wants to see you for something."
"Ji Yao?" Li Yuebai frowned: "What's the matter?"
"She seems to have some news to report to you, saying it is related to the Immortal Alliance Conference." said the monk.
"Let her in." Li Yuebai said.
He was not surprised at all that Ji Yao would come.
The last time they met, he behaved very kindly and Yu Tianji did not say any warnings or threats. Of course, Ji Yao's confidence would increase greatly, thinking that he had an opportunity.
This Auspicious Palace was not originally a sacred and mysterious place. Whenever the Kunlun monks had important matters to report to the Immortal Lord and the Lord Chief Priest, they would come directly to the Auspicious Palace. Therefore, Ji Yao could of course come here openly.
Just as he was thinking about it, Ji Yao had already walked into the main gate gracefully, staring at Li Yuebai with her eyes, and walked towards him step by step.
She was dressed even more beautifully today, and there was no sign of being disrespectful at all. Her expression was serious, making it difficult to tell what her intentions were.
The Lord Jijiu was very focused on his official duties and was very appreciative of capable subordinates. Ji Yao saw this and planned to confuse him in this direction.
"Master Jijiu." Ji Yao bowed and said, "I have something to report."
"Please speak." Li Yuebai said with a smile.
Ji Yao smiled slightly and started talking.
She gave a long speech expounding on her views on the Immortal Alliance Conference and her understanding of the major immortal sects, and then took the initiative to ask for a chance to contribute to the Immortal Alliance Conference, either to participate in welcoming the immortal lords or to do some housekeeping tasks.
"I am willing to personally sweep the dust for you all and do my best for Kunlun." Ji Yao said earnestly.
Li Yuebai pondered for a moment and said, "Thank you Miss Ji for your enthusiasm. However, I have already arranged for the reception, so there is no need to add more people."
"In that case, I dare not force you." Ji Yao smiled and sighed softly, "As the daughter of a guilty minister, I am already a favor from the Immortal Lord and Master Jijiu to be able to protect myself. I should not expect to participate in more affairs. It is really abrupt to make such a request. I hope Master Jijiu will not blame me."
Her face was slightly flushed, her tone was serious, and her appearance was even more pitiful. If an ordinary man saw her, it would be difficult not to be moved.
"I'll take my leave now. Your Excellency is very busy and you should take care of your health." She showed a very moving smile, then bowed her head and saluted.
Li Yuebai couldn't say anything harsh to her, so he could only say, "Thank you, Miss Ji. I really respect your enthusiasm for Kunlun. Please take care of yourself."
Ji Yao was very confident that the Lord Jijiu had no grudge against him and would not deliberately be on guard against him, so he would definitely be deceived.
She stared into the eyes of the Lord Priest with a smile, trying to read the change of his emotions.
From childhood to adulthood, she has seen too many men obsessed with her. Maybe they would cover it up with words, maybe they would pretend that they are not moved, but their eyes still can't lie.
However, until the end, she did not see the look she expected.
Those eyes were as calm as an ancient well, peaceful and unchanging.
How is it possible? Anger rose in Ji Yao's heart.
I used all my skills, prescribed the right medicine, and chose a method that the Lord Jijiu would like, but still failed?
Could it be that the Lord Chief Priest already has someone in his heart?
No, as far as she knew, the Master Jijiu had never had any intimate behavior with any woman, and the only female disciple around him was just a little girl, with no connection to him at all.
Why?
Just when Ji Yao was full of doubts, she finally saw the other party's face change.
"Hmm..." The chief priest let out a soft cry and his body moved unnaturally.
"Master Jijiu, are you...feeling unwell?" Ji Yao seized the opportunity and asked hurriedly.
"No..." Li Yuebai lowered his head, waved his hands, and his face turned slightly red.
Ji Yao was confused for a moment, but then he heard bursts of unbridled laughter coming from under the table.
Laughter? There's someone under the table!
She was startled and took a few steps back.
When I looked closely, I noticed that the desk was covered by a curtain from the beginning, and I couldn't see what was going on underneath the desk.
Now, the curtain moved, and then the entire table was overturned.
The one hiding under the table was the Immortal Lord Yu Tianji.
Ji Yao was so shocked that her face turned pale: "Immortal...Immortal Lord? I didn't know you were here, so I didn't perform any formalities. I hope you can forgive me."
"What crime have I committed?" Yu Tianji waved his hand nonchalantly and kicked the table aside with a smile.
He had just been lying under the table, with his hands still restlessly pinching the legs of the Lord Chief Priest, and he still refused to let go.
"..." Li Yuebai's expression was very embarrassed. He kicked hard, but still failed to break free from Yu Tianji's hand.
Yu Tianji changed his posture and almost lay on Li Yuebai's legs. He caressed him wantonly and said with a playful smile: "Master Mu just pretended to be so serious that no one could tell. I just..."
"Shut... shut up!" Li Yuebai was almost mad at him. He felt his face and chest were burning.
Yu Tianji was really getting more and more aggressive. No one knew when he started to do this. He would specifically attack him when he was reviewing documents or dealing with his subordinates, and he was very presumptuous under the desk.
Even if he used the system to threaten Yu Tianji, he had no intention of stopping.
This time, in front of Ji Yao...
The more Li Yuebai thought about it, the angrier he became. Unconsciously, he increased the strength in his legs and kicked hard, trying to kick this clingy butt-twisting candy off. However, Yu Tianji was very experienced in clinging to people, and he rolled over and pulled Li Yuebai to the ground.
"There's someone!" Li Yuebai growled angrily, "Master Immortal, you can't do this in front of others..."
"Why not?" Yu Tianji came over with a smile and kissed him on the cheek: "Even if someone sees it, what's wrong with that?"
At this point, even if Ji Yao was a fool, he should have been able to see it.
What's more, she is not only not a fool, but also very smart.
Ji Yao watched this scene in amazement, then he bowed hastily and fled from the Auspicious Palace.
Her heart was filled with anger and despair.
I originally thought that I could control at least one of the two people, Yu Tianji and Lord Jijiu.
But no matter what, no one would have thought that there really was such an unusual relationship between the two as rumored.
She had dressed herself up so carefully to please the Lord Chief Priest, but in the end it was all in vain!
Everything that had been planned collapsed before her eyes. All the prosperity and wealth turned into nothing again. Ji Yao felt despair in her heart - how could she climb back to the top next?
When she walked out of the auspicious hall, tears were already welling up in her eyes.
I walked out step by step and bumped into someone without paying attention.
The man was tall and had a cold face. He always had a sarcastic look on his face. When he bumped into her, he apologized hastily: "Miss Ji? Sorry."
"Master Wanfeng?" Ji Yao raised her head and looked up at the other person. Without wiping away her tears, she quickly replied, "I am fine. I apologize for the inconvenience."
Wan Guangliu, the leader of Qinglong Peak, is a master of swordsmanship, has many disciples under him, and is quite powerful. He has made great contributions in the battle against the Demon Cult this time.
It is true that after many twists and turns, there seems to be no way out, but when you look up, you will find another village.
Ji Yao was secretly delighted, but he still put on a pitiful look on his face and said, "Master Jijiu is busy with official duties, Master Wanfeng should wait for a moment."
"Thank you for the reminder." Wan Guangliu thanked.
Ji Yao smiled sweetly, turned around and left gracefully.
None of the major immortal sects dared to miss such a grand event as the Immortal Alliance Conference. After receiving Yu Tianji's letter, they all set off.
The meeting place was not inside Kunlun Mountain, but at Baiyu Beach outside the south gate of Kunlun Mountain. Baiyu Beach was vast and boundless, with a Baiyu River running through it. Water was extremely convenient, making it the best location.
Juling Fairy Mountain has always had a close relationship with Kunlun and is close in distance, so of course it arrived first.
A few days before the agreed date, the people from Juling had already arrived.
Yu Tianji did not dare to be negligent and personally brought people to the Baiyu Beach to greet them.
Li Yuebai stood beside Yu Tianji and looked at the visitors - the leading man was tall, with a gentle and kind face, wearing a green robe, a tall hat, a wide belt, and a wide robe with big sleeves. He must be Wei Linguan, the eldest son of Juling Immortal Lord.
In the original plot, Wei Linguan was also a cannon fodder character. Although he knew that his third brother Wei Jingyao had evil intentions, he did not show enough vigilance and greatly underestimated Wei Jingyao's ability and ruthlessness. Later, he was secretly assassinated by Wei Jingyao and took away the position of Immortal Lord.
The man walking behind Wei Linguan, with a tall and thin figure and a sinister face, was naturally Wei Jingyao.
Li Yuebai unconsciously glanced to the side again.
A woman in blue clothes walked behind Wei Jingyao. She had a slim figure and graceful manners, but she was a little timid and did not dare to act recklessly. She wore a veil on her head with a blue veil hanging from it, covering her face and making it impossible to see her features clearly.
Even though he couldn't see clearly, Li Yuebai could instantly recognize that she was Wei Jingyao's daughter Wei Qianqian.
The two sides greeted each other.
"I wonder how Immortal Master Ju Ling is doing physically and mentally?" Yu Tianji showed his concern politely right from the start.
"Father is old and not fit for long journeys, so my brother and I are here to visit him. Lord Tianji, you don't mind, do you?" Wei Linguan said with a smile, "Thank you Lord Tianji for your concern. Father is fine and in good spirits."
"That's good, that's good." Yu Tianji's face was full of joy.
Li Yuebai muttered secretly in his heart - the physical condition of the old Immortal Lord Ju Ling seemed to be fine now, but according to the original plot, it was also worrying, after all, he would pass away in a few years.
"A few days ago, when we heard that the Demon Cult was coming, everyone in Juling was very worried." Wei Linguan said, "We were about to send people to reinforce, but we heard the good news from Kunlun that Lord Tianji had defeated the Demon Cult with lightning speed. It was really a cause for celebration. However, I felt very sorry that I could not help. Why didn't Kunlun send people to Juling for help earlier?"
"Even if I, Kunlun, fight until only one person is left, even if I turn into scorched earth, I will not let my friends be implicated." Yu Tianji immediately began to speak with righteousness: "If the cultivators of Juling Fairy Mountain are hated by the Demon Cult, wouldn't it be Kunlun's fault?"
"The Immortal Lord Kunlun is indeed a man of high moral character. However, there is no need to be so polite. It is our responsibility to join hands to fight against the Demon Cult." Wei Linguan said with a smile.
"Thank you, but as for the fight against the Demon Sect, as long as my brother and I work together, we can guarantee victory." Yu Tianji sighed, "Unexpectedly, my brother was out on the expedition and did not return."
When Yu Tianliu was mentioned, the people in Juling Fairy Mountain also became nervous.
Juling Xianshan has always believed that the one who should inherit the position of the Immortal Lord should be Yu Tianliu, not Yu Tianji.
Now, seeing that Yu Tianji had become the Immortal Lord but Yu Tianliu was nowhere to be found, they were very puzzled and there were many different opinions among them in private.
"I wonder where Lord Tianliu has gone?" Wei Lin asked.
"Brother led his people to the expedition against Jiuli, and he should have returned long ago, but he is nowhere to be found." Yu Tianji frowned and said, "When the Demon Cult army surrounded Kunlun, tens of thousands of Kunlun disciples were in danger. I sent several letters to brother for help, but I never received a reply, and I never waited for brother to return."
“……”Everyone in Juling Fairy Mountain immediately looked at each other in confusion.
It turns out that Yu Tianliu is indeed greedy for life and afraid of death, and dares not come back to fight against the Demon Cult.
Yu Tianji, who has always been careless and looked down upon by others, is entrusted with the task and saves the situation.
Although it was only Yu Tianji's one-sided statement, Wei Linguan had to believe it a little bit when he saw that it was the fact.
